Honorable characteristics: Barry Sanders


Wikipedia highlights: “In contrast to many of the star players of his era, Sanders was noted for his on-field humility. Despite his flashy playing style, Sanders was rarely seen celebrating after the whistle was blown. Instead, he preferred to hand the ball to a referee or congratulate his teammates… he never spiked the ball after a touchdown.”

I had the privilege of watching Sanders live in 1988 at Oklahoma State, while my father was a professor there. He is the greatest running back I’ve ever seen.

    He was tackled by a Packer shortly after that picture was snapped.

    GO PACK GO!

    I actually think Barry Sanders was a better running back than your Dad! Your Dad is the best basketball player that no one has ever heard of, however! :-)
